Because that often lead"battle" over whowill havethe biggestmansion, yacht orcar, and in the last fewdecadesandwho willbuildthe biggestskyscraper, and thussurpassallpreviouslyconstructedskyscrapersin the world. Butwhile we areon whowill have thebiggest yachts, more or less the same,fightingaround the biggestskyscraperswiththe technologicalside it seemsveryinteresting.

A few days agoit was announcedthaton April 27begins works onskyscraper"Kingdom Tower" which will be locatedin the city ofJeddah, the largest sea port ofSaudi Arabia.Interestingly,this will be thefirst skyscrapertoexceedthe height of1000 metersandthatfromprideof Dubai, BurjKhalifa, will be higherforat least173meters.

A "brown dwarf" star that appears to be the coldest of its kind - as frosty as Earth's North Pole - has been discovered by a Penn State University astronomer using NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) and Spitzer Space Telescopes. Images from the space telescopes also pinpointed the object's distance at 7.2 light-years away, making it the fourth closest system to our Sun. "It is very exciting to discover a new neighbor of our solar system that is so close," said Kevin Luhman, an associate professor of astronomy and astrophysics at Penn State and a researcher in the Penn State Center for Exoplanets and Habitable Worlds. "In addition, its extreme temperature should tell us a lot about the atmospheres of planets, which often have similarly cold temperatures."

Our brains are amazing organs! They go through a lot of effort to make everything we perceive seem fluent so that we can make sense of it all. The truth is things are not at all what they seem, and we are all actually living in the past!

David Eagleman of the Baylor College of Medicine demonstrated that we are all living in the past by using several visual illusions to prove the point. One of them is the flash-lag effect. A light flashes when an object moves past it, but we don’t see the two as coincident; there appears to be a slight delay between the two events.

Our consciousness lags 80 milliseconds behind actual events. “When you think an event occurs it has already happened,” Eagleman said. The reason is because our brains try to reconstruct events that happen and stimuli that occur at different times, in a cohesive way so that we can have a cohesive picture of the world around us.

But sometimes the brain just can’t wait. If a hand-clapper is less than 30 meters away, you hear and see the clap happen simultaneously, but one meter further and the sound arrives more than 80 milliseconds later than the light, and the brain no longer matches what you see and hear.

At a press conference on Tuesday at the Seattle Museum of Flight, three prominent astronauts supporting the B612 Foundation presented a visualization of new data showing the surprising frequency at which the Earth is hit by asteroids. The astronauts were guests of the Seattle Museum for a special series of public events on Earth Day 2014. Dr. Ed Lu, former US Shuttle and Soyuz Astronaut and co-founder and CEO of the B612 Foundation was joined by former NASA Astronaut Tom Jones, President of the Association of Space Explorers and Apollo 8 Astronaut Bill Anders, first Chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and former Chairman and CEO of General Dynamics to discuss findings recently released from the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization, which operates a network of sensors that monitors Earth around the clock listening for the infrasound signature of nuclear detonations. Between 2000 and 2013, this network detected 26 explosions on Earth ranging in energy from 1-600 kilotons - all caused not by nuclear explosions, but rather by asteroid impacts.

To put that in perspective, the atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima in 1945, exploded with an energy impact of 15 kilotons. While most of these asteroids exploded too high in the atmosphere to do serious damage on the ground, the evidence is important in estimating the frequency of a potential “city-killer-size” asteroid.

"There is a popular misconception that asteroid impacts are extraordinarily rare ... that's incorrect," Lu said.

The Earth is continuously colliding with fragments of asteroids, the largest in recent times exploding over Tunguska, Siberia in 1908 with an energy impact of 5-15 megatons. More recently, we witnessed the 600-kiloton impact in Chelyabinsk, Russia in 2013, and asteroid impacts greater than 20 kilotons occurred in South Sulawesi, Indonesia in 2009, in the Southern Ocean in 2004, and in the Mediterranean Sea in 2002. "Chelyabinsk taught us that asteroids of even 20-meter (66-foot) size can have substantial effect," Lu said.

Important to note as well is the fact that none of these asteroids were detected or tracked in advance by any existing space-based or terrestrial observatory.

Asteroids as small as about 131 feet - less than half the size of an American football field - have the potential to level a city, Lu told reporters on a conference call. "Picture a large apartment building - moving at Mach 50," Lu said. Mach 50 is 50 times the speed of sound, or roughly 38,000 mph.

The B612 Foundation released a new video visualization of these findings, showing the impact size range and location of all 26 explosions. The video is posted at https://b612foundation.org/portfolio/impact-video and can also be viewed on YouTube.com. The listing of all locations and size of impacts is also listed with additional FAQs at: https://b612foundation.org/impact-video-faq.

Also attending the press conference in Seattle were students from Key Peninsula Middle School. In addition, Astronauts Ed Lu, Tom Jones, and Bill Anders joined Museum of Flight CEO Doug King to visit the Challenger Center at the Museum of Flight to discuss asteroids and space-related assets to detect and track asteroids and field questions from the students.

“While most large asteroids with the potential to destroy an entire country or continent have been detected, less than 10,000 of the more than a million dangerous asteroids with the potential to destroy an entire major metropolitan area have been found by all existing space or terrestrially-operated observatories,” stated Lu. “Because we don’t know where or when the next major impact will occur, the only thing preventing a catastrophe from a "city-killer" sized asteroid has been blind luck.”

The B612 Foundation aims to change that by building the Sentinel Space Telescope Mission, an early warning infrared space telescope for tracking asteroids that would provide many years to deflect an asteroid when it is still millions of miles away. The B612 Sentinel Mission will be the world’s first privately funded deep space mission that will create the first comprehensive dynamic map of our inner solar system, identifying the current and future locations and trajectories of Earth crossing asteroids. Sentinel will detect and track more than 200,000 asteroids in just the first year of operation, after a planned launch in 2018.

The B612 Foundation is named for the asteroid home of the “Little Prince” in the Antoine de Saint-Exupery classic novel. The Little Prince came to realize that what is essential in life, is often invisible to the human eye.

A few days ago, the United Nations session was devoted to the control of weather, chemtrails, dusting and everything that the governments of the world for years and still do not acknowledge, and telling us about how chemtrails conspiracy is theory that has no evidence.

Then it's really amazing how the UN at its meeting discuss the chemicals that planes emit on all of us.

It is stated that these experiments are work of private companies and world governments. The aim is to claim control and change the weather to protect agriculture and crops due to global warming, which is already well known, big lie on which revolve billions in taxes for carbon dioxide. Now they do not hesitate to say so publicly how planes do change our climate with chemical substances that are released into the air.

It's just not clear who had allowed private companies and world governments to carry out their experiments upon humanity.

For years, people are assured to not see well, as traces in the sky does not exist, how those are regular planes and condensing gases. For years, saying that spraying does not exist, as it is only a conspiracy theory, and worst of all, they managed to fool a many people.

Theory of chemtrails is discredited and so today there are people who, despite all the evidence and confessions continue to talk thats all the conspiracy theories, it's not true .

According to the analysis of rainwater and soil samples chemtrails, among other things , the highest percentage consisting of aluminum oxide , barium salts - dibromoethane , carcinogenic extra fuel and insecticides , fibrous brown stuff , like cobwebs. -Alumina and barium salts are the two most common component in those chemtrails and has absorbed the radioactive matters.

Frogs aren't just for dissecting in science class. The many species all have unique, fun, weird, and sometimes deadly characteristics about them that would surprise the majority of animal lovers. One of the strangest has to do with simply swallowing their meal.

As soon as they grab that succulent, unsuspecting insect, they need to blink, and it's not to keep their eyeballs from flying out. The eyelids pushes their eyes down to the top of their mouth and actually helps push the food down their throat. Talk about eyes bigger than their stomach.

Most frogs actually have teeth on their upper jaw, used primarily for keeping the prey in their mouth while it awaits the eyeball assault that pushes them down to the stomach.

If you were interested in what happened after the dinner starts its journey to the stomach, look no further than the glass frog which has translucent skin. That means you can see everything on the inside, including organs, bones, and muscles. Track that fly from the mouth, all the way to the stomach where it gets digested, like a grand tour of frog body.

Currently, our moon's diameter is approximately 400 times smaller than that of our sun; but it's also approximately 400 times closer. That means that, thanks to some great cosmic coincidence, we are the only know planet that can experience a total eclipse of the sun.

So what are the odds of this happening anywhere else? No one really knows, unfortunately. Only 893 planets have been discovered and named by astronomers so far, and our knowledge about their moons is equally sparse.

Based on our current knowledge of space, there may be millions or even billions of undiscovered planets, each of which may have one or more moons.

Ultimately, thanks to the vast numbers involved in the calculations, we can assume that some other planet, somewhere in the depths of space, also has the same size relationship between it's sun and moon — and maybe even intelligent life to view it!

Controlling bacteria

In order to develop the material , scientists were "getting involved"
in "producing biofilm" to force the bacteria that uses nanoparticles
and quantum dot.Biofilm helps bacteria ( such as those that inhabit tartar ) that "
sticks " to the surface , and in the case ešerhije quantity , it is
about a fiber made ​​of a series of protein subunits CsgA .For the study , the researchers altered the natural ability of E. coli
that produces CsgA and made ​​genetically designed strain that produces
CsgA only in certain circumstances , for example , when present
molecule AHL .This has helped scientists to control the production of biofilm formation in bacteria .In the next part of the study, the researchers designed by E.coli that
produces CsgA associated with peptides containing the amino acid
histidine .Production of targeted CsgA was controlled by limiting the amount of other molecules ATC .When
gold nanoparticles are added to a mixture of fiber , histadin was "
bought" these particles and creating a network of gold nanoconections. In the future, such a network could be used in advanced computer science and biosensors .Researchers have even demonstrated that bacteria can evolve and
interact with each other to make them " persuaded " to produce CsgA
linked to histidine ."
This is a very simple system , but it shows that cells can communicate
with each other and changing the composition of the material over time
," says Lu . " We hope that this will succeed in imitating the ways in which natural systems are being developed , such as the bones ."The study was published in the journal Nature Materials .
